Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and my thanks to the witnesses for coming. I look forward to continuing the discussions, to ensure that these significant trade documents are to the benefit of Canada.
I believe that we engage in these discussions for a win-win. That's how an agreement should work and be sustained. We need to work within the framework so that it will continue to be a win-win for whatever country we've signed the agreements with.
Ms. Martin, in respect of your presentation on the government's privatization efforts in telecommunications, transport, and other sectors, this has been an ongoing initiative since 1999. There continue to be concerns about poverty and unemployment and the limiting factor of oil as well as water. How has privatization helped us to move ahead in the discussions with Jordan?
